True to its tagline ‘Good Time, Great Taste’, the new McDonald’s restaurant shall offer a warm dining experience with excellent food and services to families not only in Papar, but also people who come from Sarawak, Labuan, east coast, west coast and interior districts of Sabah.
Susan said Paparians would not have to make a trip to Kota Kinabalu to enjoy McDonald’s because the restaurant is just a few steps away from their homes.
She said McDonald’s presence is a huge vote of confidence for the potential of Benoni Commercial Centre and Parklane City.
“It signifies the investment potential of Benoni Commercial Centre and Parklane City, which saw the WSG Group being awarded Best Developer for Township Development.”

The McDonald’s drive-thru in Papar would create up to 100 job opportunities for locals in Papar, especially youths.
